First there’s the grey of Tours and its suburbs. Then the landscape opens up: fields, hedgerows, woodland edges and quiet lanes. The route rolls gently and nowhere does it get really steep.
What you’ll feel, above all, are the kilometres. Around 25 kilometres is a long way when the view keeps looking the same. So find a steady rhythm and take your time over breaks along the way, as you’ll be walking for well over 6 hours. Sorigny is a small village that feels remarkably quiet after the bustle of Tours. When you arrive, the late light hangs low over the fields around you.
